David Templeton doubled the tally after half-time, and Albion never looked like relinquishing their fourth away win of the League One season, showing impressive defensive discipline across the pitch and managing the contest well.

They restricted the relegation-threatened Dons to a single shot on target - and it left Clough praising the efforts of his players from front to back, in attack and defence.

"I thought it was an excellent, professional team performance," said the Burton boss.

"We scored two excellent team goals today.

"The first one especially, the passing and movement was brilliant, as well as the finish - and then it was important to get the second one.

"We really should've got the third when David Templeton had a great chance, it would've been nice to get that.
